The world’s largest underwater restaurant opened in Norway recently. It is named “Under”. The building looks like a huge tube in the water. More than half of it sits about five meters below sea level. It has room for 40 guests. Guests are able to watch sea animals swimming around through a large window while they are eating. Of course, seafood dishes are served.
Under is so popular that around 7,000 people have already booked a table. And it is fully booked for six months. The designer said the most exciting experience was to see the seabed scenery in different seasons and weather conditions through the large glass window. Would you like to have dinner there?

2 . When you are learning English, you find it not clever to translate an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages don’t just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change between the two pairs of sentences: “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
